To get aerial photos of a Tennessee parcel, enter the county and the APN. Dirt Flight draws the boundary from county parcel data and renders the pack in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video and a contour map that shows bench against bluff. No pilot drives out, so there is no travel charge, and all 95 counties render.

Half the tract is often too steep to use.
On the Cumberland Plateau twenty acres is rarely twenty usable acres. There is a bench, then the bluff line, then hollow, and a buyer who has been burned once wants to know the split before driving four hours. Hardwood cover, creek bottom and a road that turns to dirt at the county line finish the picture.
Tennessee assessors of property publish the parcel layers the boundary is drawn from, so every one of the 95 counties renders. The 3D views show the drop and the contour map puts a number on it, which is the honest way to sell steep ground without arguing about it later.
Boundaries are approximate, from public parcel data, and are not a survey.
One APN. Everything below.
One parcel, one APN, everything below. Hardwood, a flat bench across the front, and the bluff line falling off the back third.
Everything in the pack
This is the whole Tennessee delivery.
Every view below came back from one parcel number, in about ten minutes, with no pilot and no site visit.
Where Tennessee land actually trades.
These are the ones land buyers ask for most, each with its own page.
Do not see your county? Every one of the 95 renders. Send the APN and it comes back the same ten minutes.
Asked by people selling Tennessee ground.
Which Tennessee counties can you do?
Send the county and the APN and we go straight to that county's own parcel records. Coverage varies: some states publish one statewide layer, others leave it county by county. If yours is one where the records are not public, you hear it from us before anything is charged.
How much does a drone photographer cost for a rural Tennessee listing?
On the plateau a pilot quotes the shoot plus the drive, and the drive out from Nashville or Knoxville can be two hours each way on the back half of it. Dirt Flight has no travel charge, because nobody drives. A tract in Fentress County costs the same as one outside Murfreesboro.
Can a buyer see how much of the tract is buildable?
That is the point of the contour map. Bench and bluff separate clearly, so the flat acres are countable instead of argued over, which tends to shorten the conversation on steep ground rather than lengthen it.
Will creek bottom and road frontage show up?
Yes. Creek and branch lines, hardwood cover and the point where the county road meets the property all read in the imagery, and the access view marks the frontage. Adjoining parcels entered together merge into one outline.
How recent is the imagery on a Tennessee parcel?
One to three years, and the date is on the pack rather than buried in a footnote. A bench cut this year or a new gravel drive will not appear until the next flight. If something changed on the ground recently, say so in the listing text.
What exactly comes back for a Tennessee APN?
Six pieces: the outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, the 18 second orbit, a contour map, a context map and a parcel info sheet. Paydirt adds road frontage views, infrared, a social kit and the full resolution files. Tennessee buyers go to the contour map first.
Got a Tennessee parcel under contract?
Send the county and the APN. If your invite is not open yet we will still look at the first one by hand.
